P90X Review - Learn The Facts From These P90X Reviews

Thank you for taking the time to visiting my P90X review page. I imagine you are here because you have a few questions about this home fitness program. I wanted to take a minute and address some common concerns.

You might wonder, "Is P90X the right fitness choice for me?" or " What kind of results can I expect if I get this workout program" and "How does it compare to other programs that I could follow?"

As a Coach at Team Beachbody, I hear questions like this frequently. And, it is wise to ask them before you commit yourself to getting involved in this or any other fitness program.

As I write this, I'm currently going through the P90X workouts once again. (Just finished Yoga X for Week 8 Day 1 a couple of hours ago.) I love the program and have gotten so much out of it. But I caution you that P90X is not for everyone.

First of all, you need to be in fairly good shape before you undertake this program. You don't have to be Superman or Wonder Woman, but you can't expect to succeed if you've let yourself get a little out of shape.

If that's the case, there are other fitness programs you might want to tackle before you try your hand at P90X. I've listed a couple a little further down the page.

But, if you are in reasonably good shape - and you are ready to commit to "bringing it" - there is no reason you can start producing the eye popping results you see on all those commercials!

As far as I'm concerned, there is really no fitness program on the market that compares to P90X. If you really want to get into the best shape of your life, this program will lead you there. It's not just muscle building or cardiovascular training. It's all that and more.

You'll be able grow stronger, build muscle or tone up (whichever you desire); you'll increase your cardiovascular capacity. In addition, you tighten up your core muscles. You can increase your flexibility and move more freely and athletically through everyday life.

Well....I could go on and on but to keep it short, you'll get the training you need to comprehensively improve your fitness levels. And, I haven't even mentioned the Nutrition Guide.

If your goal is to really become fit, that includes more than building muscle or becoming more toned. You will likely need to shed some excess body fat . You will also definately have a need to fuel your body properly - especially when undertaking these exercises.

And eating right is central to that. If you want to get rid of some unwanted poundage of expose those six pack abs, you'll need to pay attention to the foods you are using as fuel. And you'll need to eat those foods that properly nurture and fuel your body.

Yes, P90X gives you what you need to really transform your physique. By following this plan for 90 days - or longer if you desire - you can look and feel better than you ever have before.

I'm 52 years old and following this fitness plan has helped me feel many, many years younger. I think if you commit and follow this plan, you will get similar - perhaps better -results. Again, thanks for reading. - Chip

Fortunately, when I first got the P90X package I did take the time to go through the Fitness Guide and Nutrition Plan.

In the Fitness Guide there is a "Fit Test" on pages 20 to 26. Because this program is an advanced program you'll need to be able to start at an adequate level of fitness. In fact, they recommend that you complete Power 90 or Slim in 6 before you embark upon this journey.

Well, I was able to pass the Fit Test and start the workouts. There are three variations of the P90X workout that you can follow. There is the Classic version, the Doubles version 9 where you add a second workout in the latter weeks), and the Lean version (more cardio and less muscle building).

Tony Horton is the trainer that will guide you during you workouts. Believe me, Tony will keep you going. I know it's almost a cliche to say that someone makes working out fun, but Tony does make it fun.

I know there have been workouts where I was dragging and just barely able to drag myself down to the den for a workout but soon got into it and had a really productive session.

That's Tony. He's got a lot of enthusiasm and a quirky sense of humor. After you go through this workout series you'll feel like you actually know Tony. And you'll fully know why a Tony Horton workout is so different than all those other exercise sessions.

I chose the Power 90X Lean Workouts. While this variation emphasizes cardiovascular and aerobic training, there is still a lot of muscle building in the plan.

The program consist of 13 weeks of workouts. You workout 6 days a week and can rest or stretch on the remaining day. Most workout last for about an hour. Some a bit more. Some a few minutes less.

For me, the Yoga X workout was the toughest. It lasts for a little over 90 minutes and was really a challenge for me...every time! I loved the Kempo and Plyometric workouts. Seemed like those flew by!

If you are like me, there will be days when you just do not feel like working out. i mean, the 'new' wears off after you've done workout after workout. This is the point where you must remind yourself of why you are doing this in the first place. If you just push the DVD or tape into your recorder, press play and follow along - in almost no time Tony Horton will have you going. Some of my best workouts were on days that i had to drag myself through those first few minutes!

The concept of "muscle confusion" is the key to P90X. In the Power90X program, you will go through a series of exercises for three week and then have a recovery week. After that it's on to three more weeks of different exercises before another recovery week.

This changing of exercises "confuses" you muscles, so to speak. Because your muscles never become accustomed to the program and never become efficient, they have to work harder and can't plateau.

So you keep getting stronger. At least that's my layman's understanding of it. It's explained fully starting on page 4 of the Fitness Guide. In fact, you could even ask the developers of P90x about it on the Power 90X Message Boards

Okay, you've completed P90X !! Way to Go!! You've made great strides and no doubt feel better and look better.

But now you are left wondering, "What do I do next?

Well, in his message entitled, "Life After P90X" ( You can find it on page 41 of your P90X Fitness Guide ) , Tony Horton exhorts you to continue on. He states, " The truth about P90X is that there is no end. ...'

He goes on to suggest that now that you have completed the 90 day course you can continue on with your workouts - but modified to suit your needs. Tony says you don't need to "hammer out" workout six days a week, but that you can use this program for the rest of your life.

As a P90X Grad, I agree. The way I'm currently using the program is to go through the full 13 week program, rest 4 weeks and repeat. You don't have to do it my way, of course. You may want to build a program where you workout 3 day a week. Or you might combine P90X with other activities. It is up to you. The possibilities are vast.

I'm always up to trying new programs and during the current 4 weeks 'off' that I'm now in I'm trying out Ten Minute Trainer. in fact, I did the Yoga Flex DVD before writing this and it left me feeling fresh and energized. My point is : with a little imagination and experimentation, you can keep P90X fresh and enjoy it for a lifetime. A healthy and happy lifetime!
